We divide trekking opportunities into 2 major areas with contrasting mountain scenery and climate:

The High Atlasregion is the major trekking area in Morocco, with peaks rising to 4,167 m at Mount Toubkal.The trekking centres can be easily accessed from Marrakech (trekking centres -Imlil, Ouirgane, Amizmiz,Ourika Valley and M'Goun Valley), or there are less frequented areas accessed from Taroudant (trekking centre- Afensou). Some routes are possible all year round, others only in the summer, and we offer a range of treksfrom easy valley walksto the more challenging peaks of Toubkal, M’Goun and Oukaimeden.

The Anti Atlas bordering the Sahara offer idealtrekking conditions from autumn to spring. Treks of allgrades can be taken from Talaouine, a beautiful wild volcanic range famed for saffron growing, and Tafraoute withits spectacular pink rock formations and gorges which are Morocco’s “Grand Canyon”.

Day Treks from Marrakech - with the High Atlas just over an hour from Marrakech, visitors can experience the dramatic scenery of the stunning Atlas Mountains, their varied terrain and the warm welcome of the Berber people any time of the year.

The Middle Atlas around Cascades D'Ouzoud and near Sefrou (accessedfrom FezorMeknes) offer gentler terrain with cedar forests and lakes suitable for gentle strolls.

Note: Our treks are only available as part of a package including accommodation.

Trekking guides

As trekking maps for Morocco are very difficult to obtain and the Atlas ranges are difficult to navigate, trainedmountain guides are highly recommended for all visitors to help to create a route that is suitable andinteresting; however, they do not remove the responsibility from every trekker to take care of themselves and tostate what they consider to be within their limits.

We will look after you very well: our excellent local guides have good language skills, significant guidingexperience and are appropriately insured and qualified. Your guide will offer an insight into local culture in arespectful way, provide you with simple but tasty local food, enable you to communicate with local people (whospeak Berber), may be able to adapt the route according to your abilities and local conditions, provide hard-to-come-by maps when necessary (the ranges can be very difficult to navigate and many areas are very remote)and take care of moving all your luggage to the place where your trek ends.
